In this notebook we conduct exploratory factor analyses (EFAs) on the datasets for our studies of concepts of mental life, in which each participants judged the various mental capacities of a particular target entity. We analyze datasets for adults and children from each of our five field sites: the US, Ghana, Thailand, China, and Vanuatu.
This notebook contains supplementary results: Cultural consensus analysis (CCA). We have considered all responses of ‘kinda’ as equivalent to ‘yes’ (1).
package ‘caret’ was built under R version 4.0.2
